Brenda Reiser

Once I started using the tools Elena gave me to notice what was holding me back I was able to get out of my own way and simply enjoy each moment.

Dr. Shannon Chidlow-Williams

Elena has helped me to completely change my life. She has helped me to organize, figure out what was holding me back and develop a game plan for moving forward. As a result, all seven areas of my life Financial, Familial, Social, Vocational, Spiritual, Physical and Mental have shifted for the better.

Tony Tucker

Director, eCommerce

I really was looking for help to change jobs. I thought I might need to focus on how to interview, change my resume, etc. We expanded the scope not to change jobs but to change how I live my life. What an impact!

Lisa Butvilas

Office Manager, Mother

I am just a few months into coaching now and already am seeing and feeling positive changes. Elena has helped me to learn how to get out of my head and live in the present. I feel that I have more clarity now and our sessions always end giving me a peaceful feeling and new insights.

Raelynn Roman

Educational Consultant, Speaker and Workshop Facilitator

Timing is everything! Working with Elena as my life coach set my compass to a true north! I am now a world apart from the old Raelynn and love my new life!

Kerry Glennon

Technology Manager

I am continually amazed at the impact this has had on my life in a very short 4 months. I am back in the game and laughing my way through it! I love being Me!

Laura Gillogly

Counseling Psychology Graduate Student

Without personal coaching, I wouldn’t have searched my heart to ultimately find out that I was NOT in the profession of my dreams. During our coaching sessions, I made discoveries regarding my values, my priorities and very simply I discovered what makes me happy and fulfilled

Renee Nordstrom

Artist, Speaker and Workshop Facilitator

Thank you, Elena! What I have taken away from our time together has impacted my life in a dramatic way. I find the work I did with you helped me take the next step and continue on in the journey of my own process and evolution.

Shari Clark

Full-time Mom

Coaching with Elena has significantly impacted all areas of my life. It has helped me uncover a more authentic self and released me from fears I never realized were holding me back. With the help of my coach, Elena, I have confronted head-on, myself, others and situations that I never thought I could.

Debbie M

Technology Manager

Coaching is something that has truly changed my life in many ways. This empowerment has provided me the ability to focus my energies in such a way that happiness is achieved in both my personal and professional life.

Julie Ryder

For all the years of beating my head against the wall with trying to change the world to fit me, Elena taught me to look within to hear not only myself, but also to see that changing how I react and respond to the world is the real key to life.

Amber Meder

Dental Hygienist

I wasn’t sure what to expect from coaching; I had heard of the concept before but wasn’t sure what to anticipate so all of my expectations were surpassed. I felt that having an unbiased ear to listen to me was so awesome, that it allowed me to be completely honest in my thought process and in all of my answers.

Kathryn Hilger

Designer, Artist, Musician, Goofball

There is no point in suffering at the hands of your ego, when you can learn to dance to the beauty of your own soul’s music… and there is no easier way to figure out how then to call Elena. Thank you for everything!!

Rosette Frazier

EA, New York

I partnered with Elena to help me transition out of my job into something more fulfilling and authentic. She’s guided me through different career options, organizing my finances, connecting and communicating with my partner, as well as loving and accepting myself through good and bad times. Not only is Elena a life coach, she is a friend, confidant and will have your back through it all!

Amy Diaz

Nothing seemed to get me far enough away from jumping right back on the rollercoaster of fear. I was ready to give up but something kept tugging at my heart to call Elena. It has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I’m becoming more aware, continuing to develop and mature thru self-love exercises; I’m gaining inward and outward compassion and I’ve even started to attract more abundance and positive experiences, which is helping to boost my self-confidence.

Becky Clark

Technologits, Mother

I was struggling with feeling overwhelmed by life. I'm so much happier in big, big ways: enjoying a part time schedule to spend more time with my baby, I'm not doing things I feel obligated to but building win-win solutions that make me excited about what and where I'm spending time. I can't thank Elena enough for her helpfulness, candor, vision and ideas.

Perfect Quotes

If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do matters very much.
Jackie Kennedy

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Buddha
